I am in LOVE with the black consoled front loader washer they have on the website. I clicked on the Build Your Own link and it was in there. It looks very stylish. Also I read that the spin speed on the front loaders has gone up to 1200 has opposed to 1000 rpms! If they came to australia in that...

I had a very similar one to that only a bit more basic. I loooved it! Great for just doing your socks and undies in steaming hot water while your other clothes wash in the automatic. Did a brilliant job! I'm considering getting another one as now some of them have pumps and the ability to run...

These are really cool in that they have an automatic wash and rinse. So it will auto fill and drain to rinse the clothes after washing, all I would need to do is come along and put them in the spinner at the end :-) Mr Toggleswitch I believe had one similar and made a video. I'll share it below...

Congratulations Steve! Glad to see your enjoying life in the USA and have managed to get your first collection machine :-) Enjoy it and best of luck for the future. Matt

These are also available in Australia, definitely Whirlpool influenced.

I watch my washer all the time. In fact I get a bit annoyed if I've set it going and I have to go out lol. And if I'm watching TV while the washers on I'll be popping in and out to watch it. My partners very used to it and doesn't say anything apart from occasionally saying "is it still alive?" Lol

I did like my Beko washer for the most part it was just a few niggling things that annoyed me enough to replace it. The lack of ability to spin the simplest loads was the biggest. Bedding was a no no and often resulted in a complete 'abandon spin' or a spin at 400rpm. Towels were hit and miss...

I don't remember much about it apart from the fact that they had it for at least 10 years and then replaced it with a Hotpoint. I remember it was a lot quieter than our Hoover Ecologic we had lol Hopefully you are planning to film a wash ? :-) Matt

My Aunt and Uncle had the Philco branded version with 1000rpm spin, added temperature dial and Super Rinse button. Looked identical to this style. I remember them having that from when I was about 6 or 7 and thats 20 years ago. So early 90's approx??? Matt

Congratulations on getting it. Hopefully you find it as useful as I did :-)

Another Hitachi machine I used had slightly different agitation. It was very fast with fairly long strokes. THAT particular machine did seem to be a bit too rough. I remember a few of my shirts losing buttons and fraying at the bottom after being in this machine. It was only quite a small...

I have had both Hoover and Hitachi machines and found neither damaged my clothes at all. I found i needed shorter wash times as the agitation was so strong in fact. Both machines did great jobs on heavy soiled loads with only the occasional stubborn item needing an extra soak or re-wash. That...

Such a gorgeous machine! The control panel looks like a giant eye :-) I love the idea of the triple function filter tray too, very good engineering :-)

That agitator action looks nice and strong and certainly moves the clothes nicely through the water :-)

I have noticed what looks to be a an American Maytag machine in the factory on Coronation Street. Kinda cool because if memory serves it was in a Harvest Gold colour.

No problem Simon. I originally had the stainless steel model but because I was the first person to buy one in australia and wrote reviews for them they sent me a free white model a year later which was very nice. Both models are great and the stainless had slightly more capacity which was great...

Hi There, There is a website that sells spin dryers in Australia, known as the Koh I Noor. I have one and it is amazing, like you say, great when you need to use the clothes dryer. I will include the link below where you can purchase them from. I have the white model and its just fine. Hope...

My favourite scents in laundry detergents are: Dynamo Liquid - Such a classic clean laundry smell, i hope they never change it. Persil (UK) Small and Mighty Liquid - its a strong scent but I just love it. Gain - I love the Original scent. Omo Sensitive - because it has no scent and therefore...

I love the colour scheme on that Hoovermatic. One of my laundry dreams is to have a Hoover top loader, front loader, twin tub and dryer all in that blue grey white colour scheme :-)

About a 15 minute drive into downtown Perth, great spot, Balcatta is very picturesque too, lots of local parks that are very green and its easy to get everywhere. Its an 'older' Perth suburb so lots of these late 60's properties, has a big Italian community too. I'm wondering how much this will...
